The six-year-old brown gelding, a winner at Bathurst four starts ago, will start the 2125-metre journey from gate four.
Tritton will have David Morris on board with No. 1 driver Lauren Panella out, having been suspended following an indiscretion in the Miracle Mile final last month.
In the following race over the same distance, Tritton will have Modern Chic going around at Penrith.
The feature will start at 8.15pm.
Still in Sydney, and Menangle will host two meetings across tomorrow and Saturday night with Maitland connections in the latter.
Angela Hedges will drive Major Gambler in the first with Darren Elder’s Shannonsablast to contest the seventh.
Closer to home at Newcastle International Paceway on Saturday there will be a six-race meeting to mark the penultimate program at the venue in 2014.
Maitland district drivers Laura Spencer, Jessica Dart, Guy Chapple, Jamie Bond, Daniel Morgan, Shannon Harmey, Cameron Davies, Geoffrey Dorn, Rodney Atkins, Madelene Bond, Brad Elder and Jason Proctor will be in action.
First event jumps at 6.39pm.
And finally racing returns to Maitland on December 28 with a Sunday twilight meeting for the Inter City Pace heats between 4pm and 7.30pm.
The $35,000 final on January 3 retains its Saturday night TAB status.
